About

Hosea Abalaka Apeh is a philosopher and ethicist whose work critically examines the intersection of artificial intelligence, human consciousness, and moral responsibility. His research centers on the ontological and ethical dimensions of AI, particularly the problem of other minds and the phenomenon of alienation in human-machine relations. In his most cited work, “Artificial intelligence, alienation and ontological problems of other minds: A critical investigation into the future of man and machines” (2017, 44 citations), Apeh challenges the prevailing techno-optimism by probing whether AI can truly understand or replicate human subjectivity, and what this means for our shared future. He argues that uncritical adoption of AI risks deepening existential alienation, urging a more cautious, philosophically grounded approach to technological integration. Apeh’s contributions lie in bridging classical philosophical questions with contemporary AI ethics, offering a rare humanistic critique in a field often dominated by technical perspectives. His work resonates with scholars in philosophy of mind, technology studies, and ethics, and continues to influence debates on the moral status of machines and the preservation of human dignity in an increasingly automated world.
